Randomtest and Quicktest issues

Game Development ChoiceScript Help
1

I’m a noob to choicescript, have 0 experience with coding of any kind, but I’m getting interested in these kinds of games. I’ve typed out a little bit of a game, and need to check my progress to make sure I know what I’m doing, and it’s correct.

That said, I cannot figure out how to run the tests. I try to run the batch file with my game, but it’s not working all I get is a little scrap of gibberish text I can’t understand. I’m likely doing something so obviously wrong that it’s embarrasing, but I need a way to test it. I’ve also tried opening the html file in firefox, but all I get is a loading screen that continues to load forever.
Some help would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Most people use the .html file, but if you’re having trouble with that you have two options:

  • Open up the html version, press F12 to bring up your browser console and let us know what error is appearing there - we might be able to help.
  • Give up and download CSIDE - open your scene file(s) with it, then right-click the project and run your tests directly from there.

This is the entire message. I tried reading through it, but my pitiful knowledge of this subject just makes it seem like gibberish. Thanks in advance!

Looks like you haven’t extracted the zip file?

It sais:

QUICKTEST FAILED
ERROR: couldn’t open web/mygame/scenes/start_up.txt

I dont know what to do…

And im realy sad, because now i cant work on my projekt anymore.

I would think it should be “startup” and not “start_up”–be sure your file is named accordingly.

I think your best bet is to use firefox.
